Playground Games developed the Forza Horizon 5 and published it through Xbox Game Studio on 5th November 2021.

That's surprising since Hot Wheels just made their own racing game. I figured they might go with Micro Machines or some other toy franchise they haven't done yet. I don't know if Codemasters/EA still has the Micro Machines license.

So not only the main game is like a downgraded DLC from 4 (without the stations) but now even the DLC is a copy from the 4's DLC.
That's exactly why I lost interest in the franchise since 5, 4 was a refinement of 3 that improved it, 5 is the same with a different map.
